obviously in those days there were no foreign players..but my point was that there are probably a similar number of top English players available now as there was then..as there were more Irish Welsh & Scottish players filling the spots that foreign fill now.

i assume that people do not believe that our players are not good enough ability wise

there has to be a reason why we can't win owt..or even get close would be nice...is it the case our players are not good enough?...i can't see it tbh

one thing that does worry me re ability though...is that many on here...so i assume many people in general think Wayne Rooney is a world class footballer...if that is the case then maybe we aren't good enough because to me he is very average...yet is on a quarter mil a week...maybe the moneys the problem is it?

i think there is bit of everything happening..maybe the media have bulled up people like Rooney so that even he thinks he's world class so just strolls through games

when he was younger i thought he was one of the best English players i'd seen...i haven't had the thought for many years
